[Bug 496093] Re: [lucid] rt2860 frequently fails to connect to mixed mode WPA/WPA2 secured wireless networks

[PhilGil]

Ricardo, thank you so much for providing the updated kernel.  I was
struggling with installing the Ralink driver on my EEE PC 1000h, but
your kernel loaded easily and my wireless works perfectly.  Perhaps a
temporary solution would be to distribute your kernel in a PPA.

Jeremy, I would like to encourage Canonical to be proactive about this
bug.  There is a large installed base of Ubuntu users with 1st and 2nd
generation netbooks that will be impacted if they upgrade.  As a user,
the primary problem I see with waiting until the first SRU for a fix is
that the Lucid image will not contain the updated drivers.  This places
users in the position of needing to upgrade in order to have functioning
wireless, but being unable to upgrade because their wireless isn't
functioning.  Of course there are work-arounds, but it will be
troublesome nonetheless.

At the minimum, there should be a prominent message from Canonical
informing netbook users of the bug and instructions for determining if
their computer contains rt2860 wireless.
